**Official 2007 NASCAR Thread**

[aeroshady]

Well, with the Budweiser Shootout on saturday night, and it being Media day at Daytona today I thought it was time for the new 2007 NASCAR thread. This year there are many changes that should take the sport to the next step. Toyota's will be in the top series, there will be 12 drivers in the chase, and the Car Of Tomorrow will be run in 16 races this year. Now that Speed Weeks 07 is officaly started lets talk NASCAR.

[Thegravedigger]

Hell yeah. :cool :thumbsup

[SmoothD41]

I'm feeling a repeat for the 48

[Lude99]

Hell yeah. :cool :thumbsup

NASCAR :thumbsup

Carl Edwards :thumbsup

[DMBtheStoned]

Big Nascar fan. This year is going to be real interesting. There are more than 43 full time teams so its going to be interesting. They also changed the past champion provisional rule. This is mainly going to affect Jarrett, since he is driving a new team. They limited it to only 6 races. I think alot of the toyota teams are going to struggle. I expect teams like Red Bull Racing and Michael Waltrip Racing to miss a few races. I'm also looking forward to seeing what Juan Pablo Montoya will do in Nascar.

[BigEyedSteve]

I am leaving for Daytona on Tuesday...can't wait!
Go Smoke!!

[TheMakerDMB17]

boogity boogity boogity lets go racing

:lorraine

[aeroshady]

:lorraine

haha not a fan of the new changes im guessing. Anyway I find out if i am goint to Daytona this year on saturday, if I don't go it will be only the 3rd 500 I have missed since 1992....but I am pretty sure I am going. And yes go Stewart!!

[magentaflash]

I'm feeling a repeat for the 48

Funny, I'm getting that same feeling... :evil

[aeroshady]

Funny, I'm getting that same feeling... :evil

Funny because #20 can only be stopped by his own mistakes....if he is on....no one will stop him. Oh and Budshoot Out Practice is about to start live on SPEED!!

[davehead86]

Im feeling

#20 and
#9


Im really looking forward to what Toyota can do for the sport, and it being back on ESPN will be a huge plus i hated CBS, and frankly im not a fan of ABC but it will do for now.

[DMBtheStoned]

Who's gonna watch the Bud Shootout tonight? Should be fun to watch. I'm pullin for Mark Martin who's driving the 01 Army Car this year.

[DMBsniper12]

How did Earnhardt Jr. do last year?

[aeroshady]

Im taking Tony Stewart as my main pick for tonight and Greg Biffel as my long shot.

[aeroshady]

Wooo go Tony!! Nice win!

[DMBtheStoned]

It was a good race. I'm not a big Stewart fan. My two boys got in the wreck. Kahne and Sadler. Gililand did pretty good too. Kyle Busch had a really good save.

[aeroshady]

Gililand on the pole so far....think good ol' Ricky Rudd has anything for him??

[Lude99]

How did Earnhardt Jr. do last year?

5th in points.

NBC not CBS. I agree, they were terrible. Their crew is now going to do some of the races on TNT.

[davehead86]

Yeah it sucked for Kahne he got stuck on the wall and had no where to go when #11 slid up there.

I always get my damn stations confused. Thanx. :cool


EDIT:
Did anyone else use the Raceday Scanner last night? I had major issues with it, something like a 15-20 second delay(usually under 5) and then Kahnes channel had Ryan Newman on it all night. WTF is up with that?

I can't listen to it because of the delay. By the time you here what is going on in turn 1 and 2, they are diving into turn 3.

[DMBtheStoned]

Does anyone have the new direct tv package i've been hearing about? you can watch 5 different drivers.

[magentaflash]

I'm so sick of seeing Tony Stewart win. NASCAR is turning into motocross, without any excitement because the same people win every week. I would love to see Rudd take the 500. Or someone like Jarrett. An oldtimer that can still tear it up.

When I think of an "oldtimer that can still tear it up," I think of my boy Ken Schrader!!! Put him on a dirt track! He can rip through some dirt!

Yeah, Schrader is one person I'll always root for. He's an all around good guy. And, as for the rest of the field, as long as every Hendrick engine blows up, I'll be happy. I'd love to see Carl Edwards do something awesome this season!

[OneMoreDrink34]

I cant watch NASCAR on TV no matter what. However, I would LOVE to GO to a race.

[magentaflash]

Go to the Bristol night race in August. You won't be disappointed :)

[davehead86]

When do they start sellign tickets for teh season. I want to go to Joliet but theya rent selling tickets. And do you have to go through ticketbastard or jus the NASCAR webpage.

[aeroshady]

Go to the Bristol night race in August. You won't be disappointed :)

hahahha and how do you expect him to get tickets....they are the hardest tickets in sports to get!

[dre2142]

Your boy got DQed too :haha

Im flying down to Daytona tomorrow morning.
We'll be in Nextel Tower...Row 28. Same seat for every race.

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol Winning every week, lol

[davehead86]

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol Winning every week, lol

You have to admit, a rut of winners can develope in a season rather quickly, but the races never get old for me.

36 races in a year....Stewart won 5 races last year, and 5 races the year before.


What driver is "winning every weekend"? Its no different than any other form of racing...the same group of people run good. It has to do with skill and the full team....Rudd wont win cuz he sucks.

[davehead86]

36 races in a year....Stewart won 5 races last year, and 5 races the year before.


What driver is "winning every weekend"?

No sorry, not every weekend, but just a group of racers. Like stewart won 5 Kahne won six etc, how many other drivers posted more than one win count? It adds up to 36 quickly.

And you edited, so this is basically the same thing.

[magentaflash]

hahahha and how do you expect him to get tickets....they are the hardest tickets in sports to get!

I got 'em last year :)

High up, too. Paid about 300 for Busch and Cup tickets, on ebay.

And I am sick of Tony Stewart even winning 5 races, because he thinks he's cool, and climbs the fence, and then still proceeds to complain about someone getting in his way. He's the biggest whiner in the sport and I'm just sick of him.

He is also the best talent in the sport. Also, 4 teams got in some big trouble today! #9, #17, #19, #10.....Ray what the hell did you do to your cars haha.

No thats Jeff Gordons whiny ass.

Yeah right, they all got stuck in that wreck. 19 is in, 10 is in, 9 has a chance but gets stuck on the wall. Weird race, weird indeed.

[Lude99]

I have a ton of respect for Stewart, hes an awesome driver. I still hate it when he wins :thumbsdow

:thumbsup Not a fan of Tony Stewart. Remember how last year before the 500 he was complaining about the racing and someone was going to get killed. Then during the 500 he intentionally wrecked kenseth?

[caraddict78]

#20 :cool


:thumbsup Yes! And go Kasey Kahne!

Am I the only girl who loves NASCAR? Everyone always calls me a rednek for liking it...

[DMBtheStoned]

Daytona Duels are under way.

[aeroshady]

Daytona Duels are under way.

:thumbsup first yellow is out....Jimi just lost a lot of spots....I wonder why Waltrip stayed out?

[DMBtheStoned]

Waltrip just spun JR. He is getting pretty desperate out there.

[aeroshady]

Waltrip just spun JR. He is getting pretty desperate out there.

yeah I can't believe he just did that. everyone is going to hate him after this speedweeks haha.

:thumbsup Good to know!

[justink]

Go Harvick!!! (won today) :thumbsup

i had the privledge of hanging out with Kevin Harvick (driver of the #29 Shell/Penzoil car) two weeks ago.

he was in town doing promo's for Shell and did a signing at the George R. Brown convention center for the huge petro/gas convention that was going on. i got lucky and got assigned his booth, to watch the million dollar car that they drove into the convention center and to stand next to kevin so no hillbillies jumped him. he was a really cool guy, answering tons of questions; i really learned alot. he mentioned that outside of racing, he rarely drives and prefers to leave it up to his wife. he said he simply can't trust the other drivers on the road like he can trust the drivers on the track... makes sense to me.

the best part of the two days though was on friday when i got to push the car out to the lot and start the baby up! small block V8 makes a pretty loud noise running straight pipes dumped!

-j

[seekupig]

i hope Tony can get his first Sunday win at Daytona today...... GO SMOKE!!!:cool

[davehead86]

I hope Kahne can fucking finish the race today. Two DNF's aint lookin good.

[RJ2kWJ]

I was gonna start a new thread... I still might...

But does anyone else just fuckin laugh at Nascar? Does no other American besides me and some select people I know realize that it is nowhere CLOSE to the best racing in the world?

Yes I understand that it is whats all over American media and we aren't really able to see good racing on TV that much... But Nascar is probably the 4th MAYBE 3rd best to other types of racing. World Rally and Lemans absolutely run train on Nascar and I just find all the hype around the Daytona 500 absolutely hilarious. I would just love to see Dale and Jeff and all these guys get in some real world racing and just get their asses handed to them. Why so much hype for cars taking left turns all day, getting in a draft, and pitting at the correct time????

I honestly DO NOT understand it and will respectively listen to some good replies.

If you don't like it, don't watch it. I don't like soccer, i think it is the gayest sport ever. But i accept the fact it is a big sport and some people enjoy it. I don't go into a soccer thread and try to talk shit about it. No one here ever said it was the best racing ever. I mean what do you expect. This is the top american racing series. Do you expect americans to go crazy for f-1 and get up at 3 am to watch a race?

I'd been waiting for a post like this for awhile. Whenever a Nascar thread comes up someone comes in and says it sucks. Its like if someone started a DMB thread and I came in and said "DMB sucks phish is so much better!" It obvious you don't get Nascar, thats fine with me. Just don't come into a thread and belittle it, just move on.

BTW, I watch all sorts of racing, Nascar, Indy, F-1, Rally, Baha.

[clayj41]

Let's do this...Go Tony!!!:multi

[dougseh142]

if Kelly Clarkston performed another song, i was going to throw my tv out of the frickin window..

anyway, GO CARL EDWARDS

well lets see how montoya does. if starts winning every race, then you may have a point. if he can't do shit all season, after all the success he's had in Indy and F1, then you'll need to reexamine your opinions and realize that there's more to NASCAR than just turning the wheel to the left.

[dmbmuskie]

It's turned into the f'n Super Bowl. I'm surprised the pre-race show didn't start at 9 this morning.

I think the lack of technology is what makes the racing so appealing to the masses.

[DMB4lifeMI]

I hear ya on that. I tuned in at 2:30 expecting to see the start of the race but no dice.

Well the Daytona 500 is the superbowl of Nascar..It won't be like this every week.

ya thats it :rolleyes

[dmbmuskie]

ya thats it :rolleyes

Waltrip talked about it during the the pre race show. There is a perception, I don't think it's right, that driving a F-1 or other high tech car is easier than a driving a Stock Car.

[DMBtheStoned]

I wouldn't say the reason so many americans like it is because of the lact of tech. It is because this is the top american series. The average american isn't going to watch f-1 and pull for a foreign driver and watch races in other countries at 3 am. This is america's racing series. Its on Sundays during the day.

[DMBtheStoned]

Go #'s 9, 19, 10, 42, 01, 88, 38, 11, 99, 26, 31, 21,

prob would have been easier to say who i don't like :lol

Ford, Chevy, and Dodge are a lot more appealing to Americans than Ferrari and McClaren.

I don't get what your going for. :confused Yes there are far more technical series out there than Nascar. So what? People shouldn't watch Nascar becauseof that? If you don't like it, don't watch it! its that simple :rolleyes

Sounds like someone is upset their series isn't as accepted as Nascar is in america.

Bingo... I had to cry somewhere about it. :lol

[DMBtheStoned]

Bingo... I had to cry somewhere about it. :lol

:lol I knew it! Like I said in my earlier post I'm a fan of all racing. You just have to accept that Nascar is the series most ameircans prefer. Until the other series start showing races for our time zone this is the way its gonna be. I just don't see your whole point of coming into this thread and bad mouthing Nascar. It seems quite lame.

[DMBtheStoned]

Stewart and Kurt Busch have wrecked.

[DMBtheStoned]

Wow this thing is getting crazy! what a race! Green White Checkered coming up.

[DMBtheStoned]

WOW! what a finish!! What an exciting race. I only wish Mark would have won over Harvick.

[justink]

MY BOY HARVICK! way to go to Kevin, Chevrolet and Richard Childress Racing!!!!! :bounce

-j

[clayj41]

Well, I was very upset when Stewart was wrecked, but I can take some solace by knowing how good his car actually was. He'll have a great year. Harvick is probably my second favorite driver, but oddly enough I found myself rooting for Martin. Either way, that was the craziest fuckin' race I've ever seen!

Ya that was one of the best races i've seen! I don't think the wreck with Stewart was Kurt's fault. It was just one of them racing deals.

I was pretty level headed about it for a Stewart fan. I agree that it wasn't totally Kurt's fault. Tony got loose, and there was no where for Kurt to go...:shrug

[SmoothD41]

pissed Jimmie couldn't repeat, but am glad that Mark Martin didn't win.

I'm fine with Harvick winning, and it was cool seeing Bowyer cross the finish line upside down.

not particularly, dont know why though :confused

That's kinda odd...I just consider him one of those classy, legendary type of guys that I can't help but cheer on. I did like seeing Harvick win it though...

Would have been nice to see Martin win, but that was a good finish.

:thumbsup When I was growing up in the early 90's in Richmond, Virginia drivers would do autograph signings at grocery stores, auto part stores, etc if a race was in town. This was before Nascar got as big as it is today. Often times there would be maybe 100 fans at most at these signings. Well one time we went to one for mark martin and at most 5 people showed up. We got to talk and get pics with Mark for almost a full hour. He was so down to earth and such a nice guy. Ever since then i've be pulling for him. He is not my favorite but I have mad respect for him. Just wish he could have got the 500!

[clayj41]

I'm glad that Stewart and Kurt wrecked :thumbsup

I hate you...:p

I think Tony went through anger management or something in his little break. He wasn't all bitchy and cranky when they interviewed him after his wreck.

Maybe next time Smoke! :thumbsup #20

Yeah, I really respected his reaction and it made it a lot easier for me to bare. He had a good car and he was proud of his team...they're going to do a lot of damage this year.

I hope so!

I was really proud of what he said.

[clayj41]

He's generally pretty decent at California so I look for him to do well next week. He and Biffle had the dominant cars there in last year's spring race before they both had problems...

[SmoothD41]

i think if Kurt would have somehow stayed in the race then Stewpac would have been really shitty....i think knowing that Kurt got knocked out of the race too made him happy

[clayj41]

I agree. Knowing that Kurt took himself out in the process made it much easier to swallow.

[davehead86]

So i missed the last three laps because of fucking group presentation work. DAMNIT I missed a firey turned over wreck (havent seen on in YEARS) AND i missed Kahne missing yet another wreck this race to come in 7th to help alleviate the points levied against his team.

Seemed like him and his spotters were having some issues at the begining but the new team director worked out pretty well. Kahne was very vocal on his distaste for restrictor racing on the scanner dropping several f bombs about teh DLP car and th overall stupidity of some of the drivers. Thank god next week is Cali and a speedway, where Kahen will have the opprotunity to win.

Sadler did great today, Im proud of him on Evernham Racing, he's been a great addition from what Ive seen. As for Riggs. What the hell happened to him that he fell so far back so fast.

I dont like either Busch so fuck them.
Tony getting a DNF sucks.
I cant stand Jr. either.

Overall a very interesting race today.

Well i wne tin there and gave my two cents.

I thought about it, but I would just start a fight...:lol

[Lude99]

Awww, no! It made me sad.

Stewart is an awesome driver, I just don't like seeing him win :p

I'm so glad NASCAR is back. Sundays are so much better when theres a race to watch.

[caraddict78]

Gotta love the I Hate NASCAR Thread that was made...:thumbsdow


Yeah, because every single person in the world likes and dislikes the same things as everyone else. To each their own!

I don't like soccer or basketball but I don't make threads talking about it.




If you can't say something nice you just shouldn't say aything at all.

I love Tony. He's my favorite! Him and Kasey Kahne!

I know! I just wish I didn't have Chapter at 6pm! It totally interferes with my NASCAR!

[aeroshady]

This was only the third time I missed the 500 since 1992....when I say missed I mean didn't go. Very amazing race. I was pissed when Tony Stewart crashed, and when Mark didnt when, but you really can't be upset with a race that fun to watch. One of the best 500's in years...just what NASCAR needed. However, the Car of Tomorrow is really dumb and I think it is going to lose a lot of the older NASCAR fans.

[dre2142]

Yeah, I really respected his reaction and it made it a lot easier for me to bare. He had a good car and he was proud of his team...they're going to do a lot of damage this year.

He really didnt have any reason to be pissed...he dropped below the yellow line, got loose, and there was no way Busch could avoid him.

He was clearly on the verge of crying. I love it when Stewart is running out front and spins out :lol

He had a little help, but it wasnt intentional.

I was in Daytona for the last week....saw the Car of Tomorrow. Im not digging it either. Not sure if its going to last or not.

[clayj41]

I admitted that. Kurt had no where to go. Besides I wouldn't used the word pissed, I would say that he was more upset that he had the best car and totalled it.

[aeroshady]

Juan gets his first win, how about that.

[dmbmuskie]

Juan gets his first win, how about that.

He's a great driver, but I don't think he's got the equipment to compete with the big boys on the ovals.

[caraddict78]

He was right at home on the track in Sonoma.

[dmbmuskie]

He was right at home on the track in Sonoma.

I don't think he had the best car yesterday. I hate when racing comes down to gas mileage like it did yesterday. I thought Robby Gordon was the class of the field, but his mileage didn't work out.

I hate when it comes down to stuff like that too. I was just happy it wasn't Jeff Gordon. I hate him. He wins bc of cautions and rain and shit. :thumbsdow


I just meant Montoya was at home since they were turing left AND right yesterday and he was an Indy driver.

[DMBtheStoned]

Great race today. Was a little boring at times. Seems like as soon as they got 2-3 wide a caution would come out. Great move by Gordon to take the lead on the last lap and win. He only led 1 lap today, the last.

[dmbmuskie]

It's getting to the point where restrictor plate racing bores me.

[bustdstuff]

It's getting to the point where restrictor plate racing bores me.


Jr. said he was getting bored in the car.

I asked this somewhere else, but it's probably more appropriate here. Will anyone be going to the race next saturday?

He came out of no where for the last 1/3 of a lap. WTF, i really hate him. :lol

It's getting to the point where restrictor plate racing bores me.

Yeah it is boring, it pretty much always has been. When all the cars are the same its pretty obvious that would happen.

[dmbmuskie]

Yeah it is boring, it pretty much always has been. When all the cars are the same its pretty obvious that would happen.

It's very IROCish.

[Rockhound18]

24 wins!!! Yeeeeaaahhh. If he doesnt win the chase Ill be pissed.

And yeah, aside from the Daytona 500, I cant stand restrictor plate racing.

[dre2142]

Why all the hate against restrictor plate racing?

[DMBtheStoned]

Why all the hate against restrictor plate racing?

I'm not sure. I'd rather watch a restrictor plate race than half the other cookie cutter ovals out there, kansas, chicago..etc.

Gaydon should be sending Stewart a thank you letter:D

[DMBtheStoned]

Eh Tony didn't help him that much. Jeff cut it front of him and tony had no choice but to push him. Great move by Gordon.

[davehead86]

I'm not sure. I'd rather watch a restrictor plate race than half the other cookie cutter ovals out there, kansas, chicago..etc.

Those are both boring, I dont find Pocono interesting either. I dig the short tracks, the road course in Mexico, Lowes Motor Speedway, The Monster Mile etc etc.

[Lude99]

Eh Tony didn't help him that much. Jeff cut it front of him and tony had no choice but to push him. Great move by Gordon.

Yep. Gordon will win the chase this year. I'd love for it to be Carl Edwards, but Gordon is kickin ass.

[haasem99]

Gordon has been consistent all year and because of that, will the chase. I did think the race was somewhat boring yesterday when jr was leading. However, it seems that happens at talladega when he leads and takes them to the high lane during the middle of the race. They're just logging laps. To me, watching the last 20 laps or so is the real race at talladega.

[clayj41]

I don't know what the hell Stewart was thinking trying to block both Johnson and Newman...he cost himself any real shot at the win.:BANG

[bustdstuff]

Why all the hate against restrictor plate racing?

I don't really hate it. It's just gets a bit boring to watch knowing that if they took them off that there would definitely be some that are good and some that are bad, and more importantly racing at well over 200 mph. Now if that wouldn't be exciting, as well as separate the men from the boys, I don't know what is.


I'm also not a fan of having the horsepower trimmed back so much that guys that have never raced NASCAR feel comfortable debuting at a place like Talladega.

[bustdstuff]

I'll be in the turn four terrace on Saturday night!!:bounce :monkey :bounce

[caraddict78]

Yuck! I hate Jeff Gordon. He pisses me off. I want Stewart to win the cup, damnit!

I didn't see the race because I was on a damned slow bus on the way back from A&M. I'm glad I didn't have to watch Tony lead a ton and then get beat at the last second.

[THATEUS41]

have you been to a race before?

There is nobody I can't stand more than Tony Stewart. Kevin Harvick is a close second.

Aww... those are my two favorites! Lol. Funny how we all hate at least one and love at least one.

My very first race was the Firecracker 400 earlier this year. I feel very lucky that my first wo races are at night, and at some awesome tracks.:p

I got snagged up a couple of years ago. Sorry.:evil

[dre2142]

Im a fan of Stewart, Hamlin, Kenseth, and Kahne.

I could care less about what car make they drive.

I was at all of the Daytona races last February, and we already have the same exact seats for this years 50th running of the 500! (And the 125s on Thursday, Truck Race on Friday, and Busch Race on Saturday) We are half way up, right at the start finish line. My son will be going to his first NASCAR race as well, for the 125s.

[DMBtheStoned]

Tonight should be a good race. Alot of guys last night and in Q were having problems coming off turn 4. Wouldn't be surprised to see a wreckfest tonight.

[dre2142]

Looking forward to it. Watched college football all day, drank rum and cokes, and played online poker. Doing pretty well!

[dre2142]

Charlotte is my favorite track too cuz Ive raced karts on the 1/4 mile there on pit road many times. One year became very familiar with the pit wall at 90mph as well.

[DMBtheStoned]

Pretty crazy finish to the race last night. Newman wrecks after taking the lead with a couple to go. Then it appeared that Gordon would run out of gas. Congrats to Jeff on the win. I think this is definitely Gordon's year.

[davehead86]

Newman just sped past em, you knew it wasnt going to last.


Im just happy that Khane ran well with a COT on a non-restrictor plate track. I really hope the Evernham program can get turned around this summer, they dropped the ball big time on COT. And with a big time sponser like Bud you cant be finishing off the lead lap in 35 every race.

[DMBtheStoned]

The only reason Newman even got to the lead was Gordon had a horrible restart cus he was low on gas and a bunch of cars had to check up. Newman didn't check up and was able to pass them high. The race was his if he didn't wreck. Not really a Newman fan either. I think he's kinda over rated.

Saturday wasn't a COT race. Talladega was the last one of the season.

Comments on the race. Tony can't drive. How in the world do you hit THREE cars on pit road? Oh, and during one caution Tony decided to drive through the front stretch while they were cleaning it (cars were being led down pit road oops). It was awesome to see Jeff win his second in a row. However Jimmie clearly had the car to beat. When he was up front no one could keep up, and after spinning himself out he drove through traffic like they were standing still. I was in turn four at the Firecracker 400, and again this weekend. I don't think I want to sit anywhere else ever.

Please exit this thread, as the comment above clearly shows you dont know all about NASCAR...lol

Him hitting those cars on pit road is 100%, yes...100% the fault of his spotter. Yes...100%. Well, actually, 95% because the other 5% falls on the pit crew member that told him to go. The drivers can barely turn their heads..there are no side mirrors! The HANS device and the sides of the seat prevent them from seeing much in their peripheal....they rely 95% of the time on their spotters to know if they have any cars besides them, unless the front of the car next to them is literally nose to nose.

:thumbsup You hit the nail on the head. It is up to the spotter or crew chief to keep an eye out on pit road.

As much as I dislike Stewart he is one hell of a driver. I don't think there is any question to that.

Alright, I give you some of those points. Still doesn't make up for the sheer number he hit in one race. Also, I notice there is no explanation for him not being able to follow traffic during a caution.:rolleyes

Blunder on his part I guess. Though I dont recall that happening.

Even the best make mistakes.....like Mark Martin being in the lead and going into the winners circle a lap early :):):):)

[dre2142]

Repeat of the last Martinsville race today? Gordon and Johnson smashing eachother at the end of the race?

Looking forward to it...take eachother out and Stewart win it

[DMBtheStoned]

Decent race today. Was a little boring at times. Title is gonna come down to Jimmy or Jeff.

[dre2142]

Too many cautions.....20 cautions for over 100 laps.

Kasey Kahne owned Rudd though

[dmbmuskie]

I was bored. NASCAR is much better on TIVO than watching it live.

[DMBtheStoned]

It would be nice if someone besides Gordon or Johnson wins today:shrug

[DMBtheStoned]

Getting ready to go green here in a minute. I'm ready for some short track action! Phoenix is usually a good race.

[dre2142]

It would be nice if someone besides Gordon or Johnson wins today:shrug


I agree. Next year will be a different story though.

[davehead86]

Well its nice to see that Khane hs crappy again. :BANG.

I really hope they sort out all these COT problems next year. Fucking COT.

[aeroshady]

Ugh, Tony to drive a Japanese car next year....#20 what are you doing to me!

not true, I was at the first race Toyota was in at Daytona in the truck series...the entire crowd cheered when they crashed out haha.

Also, I did hear about this awhile ago, I just forgot about this thread (Even though I created it :o )

You're not a Jeff Gordon fan are you?



I HATE Jeff Gordon! :thumbsdow

[aeroshady]

I'm a fan of anybody but Johnson in '08. I hate when one driver dominates like that. By the end of the season I should could not watch because I knew Johnson would never finish out of the top 5 or would just win every race....boring!

[DMBtheStoned]

You're not a Jeff Gordon fan are you?



I HATE Jeff Gordon! :thumbsdow

He's prob in my top 5. I used to hate him. He got into Nascar right about the time I started watching in the early 90's. He's one of the few guys from then who's still racing.

As far as a favorite I really don't have one. Theres guys I like Kahne, Sadler, Burton, Edwards and guys I don't Stewart, Harvick, Newman, Kyle Busch.

My favorite car has always been the Texaco car. Davey Allison was my 1st favorite driver. He died when i was about 12 or 13. Then I pulled for Ernie Irvan and he was critically injured in a practice wreck. He had something like a 5% chance to live. Nobody thought he would. Well he did and he came back a few years later and won a couple races. Since then i really havent had a favorite.

[DMBtheStoned]

anyone play any computer racing games? I play nr2003 alot. I got the logitech G25..it sweeet.

I can't stand either Busch brother. I don't want them or Gordon to ever win anything.

I like Kahne, Stewart, Harvick, Burton, Martin, Johnson, Hamlin and Jr.

My mom screams for Johnson, my dad likes Edwards and my boyfriend likes Martin. And we all hate Gordon and the Busch brothers.


I still don't know how I feel about Montoya. He came in and I was alright, then he got real aggressive and whiney and then backed off. I dunno, I guess he just hasn't grown on me yet.

[davehead86]

I watched that last reace commentary and they were tlaking about how Toyota was asked to scale down their engines in the truck seris becase they produced more HP than the other teams. How is this even close to fair, if Toyota can figure it out let the other teams catch up.


Toyota in NASCAR is a great thing, considering Ford and GM produce all their cars in Asia, Id rather have Americans working and making money and foreign investors being fat cats than the other way around.


You watch next yeah Evernham will have their kinks figured out. Kahne will dominate next year like he did in the beginning of 2006. I am def looking forward to 2008 with Evernham.

[ousooner]

Not sure how many dirt track fans there are here, but I went to the Chili Bowl midget nationals here in Tulsa tonight. Not a great night for the Nascar guys. JJ Yeley spunout in the B feature and missed the A main, so he has a lot of work to do to make the championship A main Saturday night. 2 time and defending champ Tony Stewart started the A main 4th and was running 4th in the final transfer spot for Saturday's A main when he got passed with a few laps to go by a kid that couldn't have been older than 16. Tony finished 5th and will have to do some work Saturday to make his way into the A main. Kasey Kahne runs tomorrow night, but he was in the pits after the races and my wife got his autograph. Pretty cool night.

For anyone interested, Saturday night's race is available for the first time on pay per view

[clayj41]

I'm headed to the Chili Bowl tonight! I've never been so I'm pretty excited. I'm looking to meet Kasey Kahne! I love dirt track stuff.

:thumbsup Dirt racing is amazing! I met Smoke a few years ago at The Action Track in Terre Haute. He was such an awesome guy.

[ousooner]

Yeah, it's great stuff. My dad started taking me and my brother about 25 years ago when I was six or seven years old. We lived a few miles from a sprint car track and a midget track.

Saw Smoke last year, but when we got around to his trailor last night he was no where to be seen. He was probably pretty pissed giving up his transfer spot. Like last year he had a sign up saying he will only sign autographs after the A main Saturday night. But he signs every one. The line last year was unreal. With the race ending around 11pm he must have been up signing autographs until four or five in the morning.

What makes the Chili Bowl so great is there are drivers from every type of racing you can think of. Indy, Nascar, drag racing, every type of dirt track racing, etc. It keeps growing every year and they had to add a fifth night this year. I think there are 285 entries this year.

[dre2142]

Headed to the 500 in about a month....thurs, fri, sat, and sun.

Jimmie Johnson finishing 18th or worse!

I saw Smoke and Kasey! I got Kasey to sign my wristband and got a picture with him but the flash washed us both out. We look like ghosts! I'll try again next year!

I wish I was going tomorrow so I could get a picture with Tony. Oh well, maybe next year! At least I saw him and got a few pictures of him. He was keeping his back to everyone. And he was wearing a shirt that said Tool on it. I couldn't tell if it was the band or what. I was totally creepin' on Kasey though. I took so many pictures of him.

I had a blast though. I loved walking around the pits looking around and taking pictures of everything possible. Plus I got to watch Kasey move from 13th to 4th in the A feature.


I basically love auto racing.

[davehead86]

Smoke and Kasey are such great guys, its so nice to hear all those awesome stories. Im def jonesing for some NASCAR, the Bears SUCKED and I have nothing to be interested in now until February :lorraine :lol

Here's to hopin the 20 and 9 battle for the cup all year long.

Me too! I hate his brother too. They're big freakin' babies.

Everyone cheats

I did hate Busch, but now that he's Stewart's teammate I feel the need to support him. Besides, I've always preferred Kyle to Kurt.

worst. thread. ever.

Well since I created this thread I will start off by saying FUCK YOU! Oh and BTW Yankees suck so maybe I will make a new thread about how sad Yankees fans have become. They can no longer brag about baseball so they need to put down fans of other sports. Enjoy another year of Red Sox Domination! And feel free to not post in the Nascar 2008 Thread that is coming to a forum near you real soon!

Who said we are done winning? What happened to "Well I guess you will have to wait another 86 years for another one"?? The Sox are here to stay and it bothers all Yankees fans.

Everyone cheats


But not everyone gets caught!



I just can't bring myself to even sort of like either Busch brother. I want to like Montoya too, but something just bugs me about him.
